Surprised I'm the first to kick off on here, may be lots still staggering home from the races.
Whether you're disappointed or not with the outcome of this weeks transfer speculation, I think we've still got enough to take 3 points tomorrow.
I thought we looked good v Hull and Oster made a distinct impact on his return. I felt more comfortable with Sam Hird at the back in the second half and I would be disappointed if we were to change the presence of a more pacy centre back.
Sure, Danny Graham, if fully fit, can be a threat but I expect us to overwhelm Watford where it hurts. Billy's yet to score from open play so what better time to start.
2-0 Billy and Copps celebrating his contract extension.
Up the Rovers !!
-
Due to the great marketing by Watford FC four of us are now travelling down tomorrow
I also feel confident and am predicting a nice 1-3(Copps,Billy and Woodsy) :)
-
Think will be an end to end game sulli will be hero in nets again by keeping a clean sheet.
Billy to break his open play duck and Copps to celebrate contract extension by scoring and running into sods arms :laugh: also Stock brings his 'A' game, with him and Oster running the show.
3-0 rovers
-
Just shows how we've moved on. Well happy we scored 1 on our last two visits and now we're expecting to score 3 !
I'd luv it, say luv it if Steve Brooker got on and scored a goal. Full circle. Put his nightmare 2 years behind him and give us that plan B that we've been missing.
-
We've never scored more than 2 in a match against Watford, and our biggest winning margin is 1 goal, either 1-0 or 2-1.
Today's the day to alter that.

From the BBC:
Sean O'Driscoll begins his fifth year as Doncaster Rovers manager, and a victory on Saturday would make this the club's best start to a league season for 15 years.
Not since 2003/04, when they won promotion from the Conference, has Rovers' points total been in double figures after the first five matches of the season. And not since 1995 have they achieved that feat as a Football League club.
• Doncaster's only league victory at Vicarage Road was a 2-1 win in the Fourth Division in January 1960.
• A win for Doncaster would be the 400th away league victory in the club's history.
• Goalkeeper Neil Sullivan is in line for his 600th club appearance and James Coppinger his 250th league start.
More records to be broken today.
Watford 1-2 Rovers (Sharp 2)
-
Good win for Rovers today, Watford to give us a hard time for twenty minutes, then we take control. 1-2
-
Wayford will be pumped up to get their first home league win of the season, and against a pub team at that!
Tight game. 1-0 either way.

Watford 0

Best away performance for years.

Copps
Martis
Oster

-
Fingers crossed here as well. Not feeling as confident as some of you lot above, 1-1, Brooker or Shiels to score an equaliser off the bench after Billy's marked out of the game.

I thought Mason had gone back?
-
Thought he had a bad back
-
Beat me to it on Mason. Brooker won't be ending his famine either! Shouldn't be surprised but did think Hird did enough against Hull to earn his place.
Be interesting to see how Mutch gets on for them, he'll know our midfield well enough.
-
Disappointed we've got the gruesome twosome at the back but hey ho, off we go.
Come on Rovers !
-
That bench highlights our need for an out and out striker, if Billy gets injured we have no striker, only midfielders to come on

Have you got a TV stream?
(I'm tucked in bed on doc's orders, not too far from Watford which is annoying)
Why no Brooker? He ALWAYS scores for us when we play Watford...
-
That's how you win football matches
-
Gillets 1st goal in nearly 4 years according to ssn

No tv stream sadly, I'm watching the vidiprinter on ESPN soccernet and it takes a few mintues for updates. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks SL. I've just had a look at BBC Radio Herts (or Three Counties or summat) for you but they're only doing Luton's game.
-
Lockwood booked. Might be good time to get Hird on.
We need another goal otherwise it's going be a tense finish.
-
Thanks for helping and I've looked and looked as well..
-
Balls. 1-1

You jinxed it with your earlier comment!!!!!!

t**tter.
-
S**t come on donny time to step it up
-
We always seem to start the second half sluggishly and invite the opposition on. Just don't understand it !
-
WTF.
Long balls !! centre half screw up. My biggest fear realised. Get Locky off, Dumbuya on and put JOC in middle.
-
Sounds like the two centre backs letting the side down again :(
Martis left his man for the first, Locky let them in for the second.
-
w**k defending of long punts upfield again, when will we accept that the centre half's arent up to it?!

Get martis and Locky out of the team, cost us to many goals

Yep... it's not as if we couldn't swap things around. Hird on the bench too.

Don't worry... I WILL . They've both been inconsistent since the start of the season
-
Wand to you want us to say. Unlucky lads, never mind. We knew you'd get done down the middle. Just be more careful next time !
-
Shiels Mason and Dumbuya coming on.
Oster, Lockwood and Stock Off,
-
must be saving oster and stock for norwich
at least they get ten mins wow
-
Time to move Jimmy into the middle, by the sounds of it
-
Already saying much better now. But christ on a bike why do we have to wait till we conceed TWO before we do anything about it.
In hope SOD now sees that the CB combo is not the way forward and either JOC or Hird has to be in there.
-
Makes you wonder what's up with Brooker, when Martis is now playing up front.
-
Never ceases to amaze me how we start with that poor centre back pairing - consistently look vulnerable, and again today it appears we've been outdone by simple balls punted forward.
Better get our acts together cos we've got two ore challenging games coming up during the week.
-
Yeeeessssssssssssssss!!

Martis up front seriously? :laugh:
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
we need 6 points out of next two games currently 1.4 avg now
-
Now I would have been happy with a draw at the start of the game. Good away result, all be it very late equaliser
Well done lads
-
Good point away from home. Left it late though, and two scorers you would not have picked before kick off.
-
Crucial we take 6 points from the next two games if we want to make ourselves serious promotion contenders.
-
GET IN who's scored??
-
friend
-
Two points last for me.
Wrong to start with those two at the back as I said in the opening thread. Clear they were vulnerable on the first half performance v Hull. Look more secure in that game when Locky went off.
So that was an accident waiting to happen. Fortunately we've got away with a point after SOD was brave with his subs but damage was already done.
Lets learn. Move on and get behind the boys on Tuesday
-
Good point away from home, well done boys.
-
now 1.6 a game if we win next two games makes it up to 2 points per game play off form

I would have picked them - but I would not have expected them to score. Certainly would not have had money on them scoring today, but would have made a nice few bob if I had.
-
Lucky to come away with a point boys and girls.
Have to say well done Sean, for sticking Martis up front. It was not happening in midfield as they closed everything. We were left with just long balls as a plan B, and by pushing Martis up there, it gave us a balance and less onus on Billy.
